Description
In his latest investiagion, private eye Cliff Hardy comes to the aid of retired senior policeman and longtime friend, Frank Parker. Haunted by a case from his early career involving two doctors, Parker needs Hardy to uncover the truth and find out if one of the doctors, now deceased, was wrongly convicted and if Parker was blinded by the passion he had for the presumed-guilty doctor’s wife. Granite-faced Hardy discovers that teasing out the truth is not easy as he sorts through old memories, aging names and faces, and his friend’s guilt while encountering the likes of dodgy plastic surgeons, a broken-down ex-copper, a voyeuristic cripple, and a hired hit man who wields a mean baseball bat. Animosities, arrogance, and ambition create a dangerous spider’s web around this reluctant hero as Hardy searches for the hard truth.
User’s Reviews
From Booklist The long-running series featuring Australian private investigator Cliff Hardy rolls along smoothly. This time Frank Parker, a retired policeman, tells Cliff that a convicted murderer (now dead) might have been innocent, and that he, Parker, was guilty of a massive conflict of interest, having had an affair with the convicted man’s wife. Cliff is fascinated, but how do you go about solving a crime that happened nearly a quarter-century ago? As usual, Corris, who is hailed as the father of Australian crime fiction, draws us completely into Cliff’s world and, thanks to the Australian setting, makes the story feel utterly fresh.
